The Unilateral Labeling Authority for Purposes of Obliteration, aka McCarthyism on Steroids

I think Trump and his minions have assigned to themselves unilateral labeling authority. Some examples of this Label and Obliterate process include:

the "Antifa" label, to be applied to protesters, activists, journalists, media organizations, career officials who resist politicization, Democrats, et al; to justify them being imprisoned, censored, deprived of access, defunded, subjected to extortion, etc.;

the “Terrorist” label (broadly used to accuse various people and entities of “Terrorist” affilations); along with its lethal variation, “Narco-Terrorist,” to be applied to Venezuelans (and now, potentially Mexicans); to justify defenseless civilians being murdered with impunity;

the “Anti-Semitic” label, to be applied both to anyone who objects to the Israeli genocide/ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and to anyone who allows such objections a platform—including activists, politicians, journalists and universities; to justify them being: imprisoned; deported; illegally deprived of funds already granted; generally defunded; deprived of tax-exempt status; and/or subjected to extortion; and

the “Woke” label, casting DEI in a negative light; to be applied to people, the military, law firms, universities, museums, politicians, liberal organizations, et al; to justify: the elimination of policies that promote equal opportunity or that work to counteract racism, sexism and the like; the revision of history, etc.
